Using a case-based approach, participants will receive evidence-based guidance on opioid selection, dosing strategies, and safe prescribing practices. The workshop will also address management of acute pain in patients already on buprenorphine and review the emerging role of buprenorphine in the treatment of dyspnea—a particularly relevant symptom in this population. The workshop will conclude with an open question-and-answer session, allowing clinicians to ask questions, discuss challenging cases, and share clinical experiences related to buprenorphine use in the care of frail and older adults.

New CAPC blog 'Sorting Through Alphabet Soup: How to Choose Assessment Tools in Palliative Care' by Danielle DiGennaro, MSN, APNP, ACHPN
https://www.capc.org/blog/sorting-through-alphabet-soup-how-to-choose-assessment-tools-in-palliative-care/

"Medicine loves its abbreviations, which are intended to streamline care but often create confusion. Early in my training, I remember wondering whether ‘OD’ meant right eye or once daily.” I later discovered palliative care found itself in a similar quandary with assessment tools. Which tools should I use? When are they helpful versus a burden? When do we over assess patients and caregivers in our efforts to leave no stone unturned?"

Read our latest blog by Danielle DiGennaro to explore the advantages, limitations, and health equity considerations to support informed and equitable clinical use of assessment tools in palliative care.

In palliative care, the best patient outcomes are achieved when an interprofessional team has healthy communication and collaboration practices. When dysfunction arises, it can impact both team well-being and patient care. This session will explore the characteristics of high-functioning teams, how they collaborate and communicate with patients, caregivers, referrers, organizational leaders, and one another, and the processes that consistently enable them to meet the needs of their constituents.

Learning Outcomes —
đŸ”č Identify 3 common characteristics of high-functioning teams and state their significance in palliative care
đŸ”č List 3 practices that palliative care leaders can employ to assess and improve team dynamics
đŸ”č Apply strategies for enhancing team collaboration to real-world palliative care scenarios
